The Rescue
The tinsmiths looked the Woodman over carefully and then answered that they thought they could mend him so he would be as good as ever.

ブリキ職人たちは木こりを慎重に観察してから、彼を十全な状態に直せるだろうと答えた。
So they set to work in one of the big yellow rooms of the castle and worked for three days and four nights, hammering and twisting and bending and soldering and polishing and pounding at the legs and body and head of the Tin Woodman, until at last he was straightened out into his old form, and his joints worked as well as ever.

彼らは城の一室で仕事に取り掛かり、三日三晩働いた。ブリキの木こりの頭と体と足を叩き、ねじり、曲げ、繋ぎ、磨き、叩いて、とうとう木こりは昔の姿に直された。彼の関節は以前のように支障なく動くようになった。
To be sure, there were several patches on him, but the tinsmiths did a good job, and as the Woodman was not a vain man he did not mind the patches at all.

確かに継ぎはぎだらけだったが、ブリキ職人たちは良い仕事をした。木こりは見栄っ張りではなかったので、彼は継ぎはぎであることをまったく気にしなかった。
